To that end, they figured out how to prevent scurvy by issuing citrus fruits in rations for sailors, which helped make that happen. Then, in WWI, they issued Marmite in troops rations (1 tsp per day) to fight malnutrition in the trenches. So as far as using food as fuel to maintain an effective fighting force, one should perhaps not scoff at the Brits. They maybe have a decent track record in that regard.

And now they occupy and island the size of Alabama.
England

Believe their downfall was trying to export Marmite to the world, but I could be mistaken.

Calling that garbage a condiment is an insult to ketchup and mustard.

I like savory and salty. I’m thinking that I’ve got to try this. Maybe it’s better warmed up?

Maybe.
It’s brown.
Brown, warm, and steamy.
Give it a try and let us know.

Marmite isn’t salty, but it’s certainly savory. Marmite is to savory (umami) as sugar is to sweet. It’s intensely potent, so apply it very sparingly.

If you're talking Heinz 57 and French's yellow, then the Brits just may have a more well-developed palate than you do.

Tell me, do you serve them on your from-frozen hamburger patties at your cookouts?



Good grief, people acting like food they don't enjoy is somehow a fucking affront to the Almighty or something. Wow. Whatever you do, don’t try fish sauce. Ever heard of garum? The folks that came up with that only pretty much invented the modern world and they “put that shit on everything.” But get all high and mighty on your ketchup and mustard horse like you’re so much more sophisticated lmfao. Big Grin

I don't have cookouts (I don't grill) but yes, I use French's yellow mustard on my hot dogs and hanburgers. My hot dogs have nothing else on them--just mustard; my hamburgers also have iceberg lettuce. I'm not ashamed of my taste preferences. And those who like Marmite can have it--I don't care.

Flashguy, I think I have a pretty good handle on what your food tastes are and I wasn’t directing any of that at you. I was specifically talking to PASig who as much as said that Marmite was an insult to the most rudimentary and most over-processed condiments in all of history.

For whatever reason, this one in particular evokes incredibly strong feelings for or against, and naught in between, so if we’re all just gonna start swinging our purses at each other, I guess I’ll have to bow out and say “you guys win.” Wink

Is the PC or just a publicity stunt? Viral marketing... a "We're leaving, so you better start your social media campaign to talk us into staying..." kind of thing.

“Spotted dick (also known as "spotted dog" or "railway cake") is a British pudding, traditionally made with suet and dried fruit (usually currants and/or raisins) and often served with custard…”

To be clear, I like you, man, and I thought we were just having some good-natured shit-talking for giggles. If I got your hackles up over mustard and ketchup, you have my sincere apologies.
